Morning News: Talkin' Turkey Day

Thanksgiving – the most American of holidays. We eat, watch football, nap, eat, watch football, eat, pass out. Freedom! Then we wake up from our food coma and spend the rest of the weekend prepping for the next holiday. U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A!

Mascot For The Day – read about this lady if you dare, but it might be helpful in steering you away from seconds.

Thankful – enough tomfoolery. Tell me one thing you’re thankful for; only let’s have no repeating answers, so if someone says what you intended to say, dig deeper, pick something else – we all have so much to be thankful this shouldn’t be hard. I’ll get us started – I’m very thankful for my wonderful wife.

I am thankful that the Lord blessed me with my wife and beautiful, healthy children…

I am so thankful for the opportunity to get a higher education. And for the Cubs 🙂

Things I’m thankful for the last 2 years:
No longer being a Bears fan
Switching over to the Packers
The Packers knocking the Bears out of the playoffs and winning the Super Bowl
The Packers being 11-0 to start this year
Meeting Tom and Todd Ricketts
Delivering a pizza to Tom Ricketts
Tom Ricketts finally listening to me and firing Jim Hendry
Theo Epstein and the rest of the Chicago ex-Red Sox
Mike Quade being canned
Ohio State winning the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl (even if the latter was vacated,I hate the SEC)
Braxton Miller
Aaron Rodgers
Derrick Rose
Kobe Bryant
Being a witness to the Queen losing, along with the 3 stooges
Taking a massive dump in the $68,000 toilet at UIC and spitting on it
Service trips with UIC’s Alternative Break Program to Florida (2x) and Memphis
Graduating from UIC
Life-guarding
Quitting Domino’s
Getting a new pizza delivery job, a place I didn’t even know, and one I wasn’t even looking for
My internship with Disney
And most of all, VFTB. I had been looking for a good Cubs blog/forum, and I finally found one. This place is great. I used to post at NSBB, but that place was overrun with White Sox and Cardinals fans, and I couldn’t express my hatred towards them without getting banned.

Very grateful to Christ my Saviour who has richly blessed me with family, friends and frivolity like VFTB!
